There is something about the color and brilliance of fall that has always seemed extra romantic to me, so I LOVE shooting engagement sessions in the fall! Shawn, Luke, and I shot in 2 of my favorite locations this season (a beautiful park and ANYWHERE with corn still left standing!), and I think it payed off amazingly–I am completely in love with these images! I know you will love them too! Shawn and Luke have been together a very long time, and there is such a familiarity about them together- they can predict with the other will do and say, and are SO comfortable together. Shawn is vibrant and charismatic and beautiful and lively, and Luke is a bit more reserved, calm, steady. They balance each other perfectly... And I must admit, these couples that have a bit of the opposites attract thing going really touch my heart- because Michael and I are very much that way. Shawn arrived a few minutes after Luke and I, looking FABULOUS with just about the best hair I had ever seen, and I just knew things were going to go PERFECTLY! They are so interactive together and just so EASY to photograph showing passion and love–because they have so much of it for each other. I can’t WAIT any longer to share these–meet Shawn and Luke!!

This location?! Unbelievably perfect, and a little more dangerous than it looks!

See what I mean? They are STUNNING together!


These are two of my favorites, and it was 10 minutes in to the session! Instant pros!
Shawn suggested that this is a way Luke likes to kiss her a lot…I love it!
Shawn!! Seriously???? STUNNER!

I ADORE Shawn’s ring…absolutely beautiful!
Location and outfit change.  These are some of my favorites.  Ever. 
Looking good, Luke!

I’m pretty sure it was sometime around here that I was photographing the stellar ring, and Luke and Shawn were being playful and adorable, and he picked her up and something went amiss and she actually got a BRUISED RIB from it (according to the ER trip later in the night)!!  And yet, she put that beautiful smile back on and continued right on through- THAT is dedication to the cause!  


And introducing their beloved pup, Jake!!  These just melt my heart a bit!
Congrats Shawn and Luke–I can’t WAIT to photograph your wedding next summer!!! I am so thankful you chose me to capture it all! Leave them some love if you enjoyed their images! 🙂
